Harjinder’s Sky Dive for MND
On Friday September 13th last, Gulshan Radio Wolverhampton’s intrepid presenter, Harjinder Juttla, undertook a sky dive to raise money for research into a cure for MND. It took place at the popular Skydive Tilstock Freefall Club nr Whitchurch Shrops and was her fourth attempt, the previous three attempts had been cancelled due to poor weather conditions but this, and it being Friday the 13th would not deter her.
Harjinder explains, “I did the skydiving event for MND because it was on my bucket list of things to do, and I wished to do it for a good cause. Every little helps in the fight against MND.”
The inspiration for the event came from Wolverhampton couple Harinder Singh and Harjinder Mangat who lost their son, Kola, in December 2012 to MND and set up a webpage dedicated to his memory. Today Harjinder is an Association Visitor and like many of our AV’s they use their own experience to offer emotional and practical support to those in similar circumstances.
The total money raised was £2000 and at a special presentation ceremony held at Gulshan Radio’s studios on 17th October, a cheque was presented to MND Association Regional Fund Raiser, Amanda Devlin who accompanied by Black Country Group Leader, Michael Cronogue, were later interviewed by Harjinder Juttla on her programme about their vital work across our region in combatting an illness which affects approx. 100 people across the four Black Country boroughs.
